Computer Says Show
Everyone can say whether the piece they have just heard is good. How do they know it? What makes one song, musical or concert succeed while another turns out to be a flop? In this extraordinary experiment, the most modern technologies are harnessed to compose music in order to find out what makes true hits stand out. Two musicians, Benjamin Till and Nathan Taylor, together with IT specialists, are involved in the creation of a perfect musical. Thanks to the data collected from hundreds of successful performances, an international team is developing a step-by-step recipe for a perfect performance. It will be generated by the final composer – the computer programme called Android Lloyd Webber.
